I just figured my main folder under my user and everything in it was shared. Is there a log on my computer that checks whether someone downloaded from my computer? I remember there was somebody else with a mac on the same network and had the opportunity to download all my private information.

I don't think that there is a method to do that. Anyhow, I bet that the chances of that happening are very small. First, the person would have to have no morals, and second, the person would have had to specifically look for a shared folder, and that is also relatively unlikely. Also, just to be safe, monitor what can be monitored to discover whether your information was taken for a few days/weeks.

I guess that makes a lot of sense what you're saying. Quite a number of people are relatively decent in reality. Not in the newspaper of course. How do you monitor if information was taken?

If you had passwords or login details stored for bank accounts or other services you might consider changing them. Though I myself wouldnt be too worried in this situation, the person would have to have been specifically targeting you - otherwise I doubt they would have taken any information. Always important to share folders with passwords. if you dont have a password, you can create a sharing only account and tick the remember box on any computers you regularly use.
